We just spent a week with my wife's Norwegian family. Several of whom live in this town where in winter, it's not only cold as cold can get, but because of it's location in a mountain valley it gets no direct sunlight for six months of the year...except for the town square which is lit by sun mirrors placed on the mountainside.

Living in Melbourne it is really a scorcher today 42c a late cool change coming thank god tomorrow 21c amazing variations in temp even in summer amazing weather in the states and other places probably wish you were here nice beaches too.

I personally prefer to live in a place with a temperature of 6°C than in a place of 36°C.
I still remember when I was in North Africa about 20 years ago. It was in October and during the day the temperature was about 34°C. It was horrible.
I shared some words at a desk with a woman who runned a small business and I told her: "Far too warm here."
She replied: "We often get more than 48°C during the summer."

They could offer me 10 millions $ to live there, I'd not.

A good vest, good shoes and I can support -15°C (even -20°C if not windy) without any trouble.

But more than nude, it's impossible to live. I don't like hot weather.
That's why I don't see global warming with good eyes.

Will never happen. Quokkas are protected now and they will be on Rottnest Island forever. Estreeter, you may not like them, but before you pass on you and the wife have to go to Rottnest Island to get a selfie with a quokka. It will be the last most important thing to do in life.
